So more big brother stuff is what you are suggesting. How about people not rely on FB for news.

My wife and I just returned from our first cruise. We elected to not purchase any internet and also left our phones in our stateroom about half the time. We wore no watches, and just wandered on the ship, reading, watching the ocean, watchi

He has support because if you voice against him you end up in prison, jail or exile. I'm not saying he didn't do great things to stop the genocide in 94, but the country is the way it is because he rules with an iron fist.

What medical data is sent via pages? All the times I've used them it is a simple code, and possibly a location.

In my initial Army job I had to learn how to copy Morse code. I got up to a respectable 23 groups per minute (a group is 5 characters). If I remember right, beyond about 13-15 GPM, once the code stopped transmitting I would still write for

Well that is basically how we came into existence, right? Its not like some all powerful creator programmed our DNA. So, the same random events can happen with computer viruses.

Nope, not buying this excuse. They don't want food directly because they want cash to go buy other crap. Hey look, I get it, being homeless sucks, but the situation the OP is describing is not working. Seattle, SF & LA have all bec

The title 'Software Engineer' is an over used term imo that describes any developer out there. That title should be reserved for those that have the same credentials as an ME, EE, etc. Someone who is a CS degree holder or a self t

Yes they can. It all depends on the policy. For example USAA routinely insures service members and those policies have a rider for dying in combat. And it is only a couple buck for a month on a normal $500k policy. When I retired I took tha
